Tommy and the love square

Tommy Gavin is square. We don't mean it in the boring, 1960s sense. We mean he's square in the love department and that's because the triangle between him, Janet and Sheila has now been evened out with the addition of a fourth woman, Kelly -- the crazy lady who ran into a burning building two episodes ago to retrieve a "valuable" attache case.

In one of the last scenes with him during last night's episode, Tommy shows up instead of Damien for a date with Kelly to put an end to her advances on everybody (BUT HIM) at the firehouse. They have some sarcastic banter, including a speech about how she needed to save her weed -- weed good enough to have Willie Nelson spewing Shakespeare --and then the two get semi-flirtatious. Kelly asks the waiter for a bottle of the restaurant's best tequila and , to quote Tommy "the games begin."

Though it didn't finish with the walk of shame, Tommy felt guilty nonetheless as he told Sheila about his attempt to save Damien from the Cougar's clutches. She looked at him accusingly, as if he was on a date with her, but then she has this epiphany that maybe Damien was going after Kelly because she looks somewhat like her and in some Oedipal/Shakespearean Hamlet way believes Damien has a hidden desire to sleep with her. Then, after Tommy passes a comment about how hot Cloris Leachman used to be, Sheila says the combination of Janet's and Cloris' high cheek bones, blond hair equal his mother and that he married Janet to be with his mother. We know, it's crazy, but so Sheila.

When Sheila runs off to Google Cloris in the bedroom, her and Tommy reminisce about their first real dates, a few decades back, when he was on the break with Janet. She lets Tommy know that after he decked a guy for staring at her ass as they went to buy vodka, she was petrified of who he was and knew she couldn't be with him. She need to be with Jimmy and that's why he was the best thing for her at the time. And while he's still as much trouble as he was then, she knows they're good for each other now.

She also reveals that Jimmy cheated on her, about a year before he died in 9/11. In an upcoming scene from next week, Tommy confronts Janet to see if it was her. It makes sense in an eye-for-an-eye sort of way.
